"Pool is awesome "

"Incredible stay. "

"​Our stay at Bocas Paradise Hotel was excellent, primarily due to its unbeatable location. ​The Highlights: ​Prime Location: Being right on the main street of Isla Colon made it incredibly easy to explore the town, find dining options, and soak in the local atmosphere. ​Tour Convenience: If you're planning on doing any excursions, this is the place to be. The boat tours are located right next door, which made our morning departures seamless. ​Atmosphere & Noise: While the hotel is close to the nearby clubs, we found the noise levels to be perfectly manageable. I had packed earplugs just in case after reading previous reviews, but we actually never needed to use them. ​Overall, a great home base for anyone looking to be in the heart of the action in Bocas del Toro!"

"There was nothing we didn't like about the Bungalows! They were very clean, comfortable and the view from the deck was gorgeous. Our hosts, Alfred and Sonia, were so helpful and generous. They shared tips about the islands, and booked the water taxis, so we were never stranded or overcharged. Sonia is the "Queen of Breakfast". Jerry, the chef, was not only an excellent cook, but he was also very atuned to our tastes and requests. The rooms are fully stocked, and if we needed anything, it was supplied (we borrowed fins and umbrellas). If you get a chance to go here, do it!"

"My husband and I recently stayed at Aqui Hoy for 4 nights and while it was a bit isolated, it was a relaxing and peaceful location. We had the place to ourselves, so that was lovely, but I do think that having neighbours in the adjoining cabin would have impacted on our privacy, had there been someone in the room beside us. Katy and Marcel were welcoming and friendly. It was an added bonus to have a restaurant on site. The food was wholesome and reasonably priced. As were the local beer options. We made use of the kayaks on hand, and enjoyed the sun in the lounge chairs. Marcel took us out to Hospital Point to do some snorkeling one day, and that was a good outing. A few improvements that would make for a better stay would be to have a sliding screen door so that a breeze can come through in the evening and at night, since there is no AC, and the no-see ‘ems come out at dusk and in the morning. It would have nice to have had more options for breakfast. And we were a bit surprised that we had to settle our tab in cash, but could charge the amount for our nightly stay. Aqui Hoy is a solid 3 star accommodation, better than ok as the rating seems to denote in Expedia."

"Staff was exceptional, ask for Antonio to be your waiter at the restaurant great guy very professional. "

"The property is breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful. Staff was kind. The lodge was stayed in was comfortable and spacious. The view from the balcony was stunning. Wish there was one more restaurant in the property. There are times when the only restaurant does not offer food service so plan your tours etc accordingly. The restaurant functions on island time so pack your patience. The listing on Expedia says private pool for the lodge but it is actually shared between 10 lodges. Overall a great stay ! "

"Beautiful suite and friendly staff. The walk to town was difficult and not well maintained- I would not want to do it after dark. The food was good but very pricey ($25 USD for dinner of pasta with no veg or protein even for a child who received a smaller portion and of course no wine!) and disappointed there were no local food options. Otherwise very happy with the stay and the staff!"

"Refused to allow us to arrive early stating they did not have space - simply not true..it is a very large compound with many places to hang out. They need more staff - the owners are working too hard and seemed burned out. "
